- Traffic ViolationsPlaintiff, a middle aged legal secretary, suffered serious and debilitating injury. Her medical bills alone were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars presenting a risk of excess exposure to this young mother of three. Plaintiff claimed she stopped and looked for oncoming traffic before proceeding to cross. She testified she observed the defendant approaching from a considerable distance and determined she had enough time to cross safely. Plaintiff alleged the accident occurred because the defendant was speeding, but offered no opinion as to the speed of the defendant’s approaching vehicle. Plaintiff attempted to use the resulting damage to the vehicles, which was significant, as evidence of the defendant’s speed, but failed to offer any expert opinion in support of this conclusion. A judge of the Superior Court concluded this plaintiff failed to come forward evidence sufficient to allow the case to be presented to a jury and entered summary judgment in favor of our client.

The prior employer failed to update or renew the contract which had been signed when the employee was first hired many years before. When the court declined to enjoin the key employee from working in his chosen field the prior employer dismissed his lawsuit.
